[Milsurplus] Information needed on wierd indicator assembly

[Gregory W, Moore]

GA All of the wonderful Milsurplus reflector.

I have recently come into possession of an indicator assembly of a 
rather weird design, and one of which I am unfamiliar with.

The Mil ID id ID-866/SG  Light, Indicator
Navy Department, BuShips
MFG:  US Naval Security Engineering Facility
            WashDC.

115V 0.1 Amp.

Ok, there is nothing spooky or classifed about this item.  What is 
basically is, is an indicator lamp assembly consisting of one Green lamp 
(lens) and one Red lamp (lens).  The basic function of this indicator 
was to indicate, with whatever lamp was energized (presumably by a 
remote switch, if a comm circuit was cleared for Classifed traffic 
(Red), or if it was not encrypted, nor secure (Green).

All that is inside are 2 indicator lamp assemblies, a terminal strip, a 
fuse, and the cutoff ends of cable by which the lamps were 
energized.....No big deal, just red and green. 

I am rather enthusiastic, since I am former Navy, and a 
codehead/facilities controller/Teletype Repair/High Speed CW op, Crypto 
Repari/Operation (along with numerous other occupational 
specialties...at that, to place said indicator near the door of my ham 
(and MARS shack) for kind of a nostalgic look, since I spent most of my 
career working in windowless, secure, rooms, performing tasks which I 
can't discuss,using equipment I can't describe--hi-- I just thought 
having the indicator operational would be kind of fun....

The query I have, is, is there any wiring info roaming around about this 
indicator, and what lamps does it use. It appears to use 2 rather 
oddball bipin lamps, but I have no further information.

If anyone can come up with lamp numbers, or a circuit diagram (it's 
simple,how complex can two indicator lamps be?......I would be greatly 
appreciative.   If you so desire, I will put a picture of this widget up 
on my website so you can actually see the thing.... For such a simple 
item, I sure as heck can't find any info about it, and since I acquired 
it with no lamps, this is what I really need, as well as a wiring 
diagram (note: there were two rubber cables going into the unit, one 
presumably for power, and one for the remote switch by which the color 
was controlled. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, to make this OM's shack a little 
more authentic, since I have everything else look like a Radioroom 
aboard a ship, with authentic florescent lighting, armored cable, proper 
paint scheme, etc, etc.
